no one of the stock ones was cracked..but on sunday i bought 5 probe rims with 4 tires for 80 bucks .. so now i have 3 sets of rims. 2 sets have good/new tires, and the third set still needs tires lol

when i cracked the rim after hitting that median it put my alignment out of wack. so the inside 2 inches wore down way fast. inside inch was cords. i needed tires badly so i just went online and bought tires and rims for 700 brand new. and the next day after getting the rims i had the car aligned.

Dude I just had my alignment adjusted. I was on my 3rd front driver side tire this year. The tread on the tire I just replaced was sticking out by at least a half inch.

So I know what your going through.

Heh... speaking of alignment, I bought my PGT with bad alignment. I replaced the F/R wheel bearing and threw the alignment out ever further. How far?

Before alignment:
Left - 1.4 degrees
Right - 2.2 degrees

After alignment:
Left - 0.04 degrees
Right - 0.05 degrees

Driving in the rain was fun. I'd go in the direction of whichever tire had more traction.
